With increased access to smartphones, gaming, and social media—especially after COVID—many students across India are spending excessive time on screens. This leads to reduced attention span, poor academic performance, sleep disorders, mental health issues, and social isolation.Why this matters:-Academic Distraction: Students often spend more time on entertainment apps than studying, affecting learning outcomes. Mental Health Impact: Constant scrolling and gaming can lead to anxiety, depression, and loneliness., Sleep Disorders: Overuse of screens at night impacts sleep quality and daily functioning. Addiction Signs in Teens: Some students show signs of internet/gaming addiction but lack awareness or support. A 2023 study by AIIMS found that over 30% of schoolchildren in urban India show signs of screen addiction. WHO has recognized gaming disorder as a mental health condition. In rural areas, increased smartphone access during COVID led to a 300% rise in daily screen time for students.
